Friday Night Flicks: Keith Newstead and Paul Spooner

Posted on January 5, 2018 by Byopia Press

I only discovered the work of Keith Newstead after getting high speed internet, but I have known about Paul Spooner since the late 1980s, when my brother-in-law gave me a book by Spooner called The Zoo of Tranquility. It contained build-it-yourself paper automata, and I loved it.

 

 

 

Perhaps you can build your own automaton this weekend, following the instructions in this video.
